desire

In the teachings of Patanjali, desire is a poison to one's heart. Misrepresented desire, leading to a scattering of energies can be perceived as joyful and fullfulling at the time and yet in the long run taking us further from our truest beings.

A juxtoposition? If it is in our true nature to have desire are we not being our truest selves? Or are we simply serving ourselves and our immediate gratificated needs - a mere spec of who we truly are.

When directed, guided and lovingly nurtured, the energies of desire can lead to the utmost of fulfillment on each and every level of our being, including those aforementioned immediate needs. With continual and daily practice of commitment and direction of our energies into our highest possible potential, we are able to connect with a rhealm of overwhelming possibilities. It is in this light that we magically accomplish that which we are here to be.
